18 Mar 2013 Beachy Head Overcast,sunny periods milder We

We sea-watched from 06.20-08.40 and was joined by RHC for the last hour. We then walked Birling lane, Birling loop to Belle Tout and onto the Cornish Farm Track returning back to Birling. Also called into Hodcombe. We failed to find any migrants in the areas we covered and again no diurnal migration recorded of migrants arriving on the sea-watch, even thou conditions were much nicer today.
Liz recorded a male Wheatear on her cycle ride this morning beyond Cornish Farm.
